Luffy V.S. Lucci. Round Two.

As pointless as this may seem, there is actually a point in posting this speculation thread.

What would be the outcome shall Luffy fight against Lucci once more with his current abilities?

Lucci failed to take Luffy seriously for a good portion of the battle. He held Rokuougan in reserve for the majority of the battle. Luffy won the battle by the barest of inches, relying upon surprise tactics such as the lucky Gear 3rd shot. Even the result of their previous battle was controversial. Luffy lost all his functions, only barely managed to stay conscious. Lucci lost consciousness, thereby losing.

Now that both Luffy and Lucci are acquitted with each individual's capabilities, how would a second battle turn out? I strongly suspect that Lucci may triumph, as Gear 3rd is essentially rendered useless.

It was through a combination of luck, Lucci's cockiness, and desire to save Robin that Luffy defeated Lucci in the first place. If they were to fight again in all seriousness Lucci would be the victor, no doubt about it.

I also believe that Gear 3 is useless, however, now both of them know that.

I think you would have to explain the circumstances more. Is this a fresh, just ate 400 pounds of meat luffy against a fresh lucci? Lucci was obviously rested in the fight, while luffy had already done gear second against blueno and Gear 3rd to break down the door. The most he had for regaining of "strength" was 2 pot roast type things.

You also have to take into account that Tekkai, even lucci's tekkai which is the strongest of all of CP9's is useless against Gear 2nd. Maybe it was just me, but i noticed that Lucci was breathing awfully hard after using Rokuougan. It didn't seem like he would be able to just continually use it, although i would say that most likely, now being aware of luffy's innate abilities he would be more prone to using his trump card early. But once again, now luffy knows about that as well.

If it was totally fresh lucci against totally fresh Luffy, then i'm going to have to go with Luffy. Rokuougan is good and all, but if that's really all luffy has to worry about, and it seems to be, then i'm going to have to give the battle to luffy.
